CURTAIN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,125, dated June 27, 1882, Application filed January 27, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. SOHIOK, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement for a Curtain-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to curtain-holders.

Heretofore curtain-holders have consisted of a plain band,or have been made in oval shape, whereby the lower drapery of the curtain is drawn back,bringing the curtain into a bunch upon the floor, giving to the lower part of the curtain a bulky and unsightly appearance.

My invention consists of an ornamental piece of fabric in the shape of a crescent, to be suspended by loops at both ends upon a hook,the lower or outer part in its construction being expansive, and allowing the inner part of the curtain to stand in easy graceful folds at the bottom.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a perspective of a device showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

Fig. 1 represents the holder in place upon the curtain. The loops of the holder, by their attachment to the inner coils or margin and the crescent formof the holder, draw from the inner side, and give to the lower or outer part of the holder an expansiveness that allows the lower part of the curtain to fall in as well as out and back, whereby the curtain has a natural and graceful drapery below the holder.

Fig. 2 is arepresentation of my curtain-holder when detached, showing the holder in its croscent form, the position of the loops at either end, from which the same is suspended, and their position as to the inner coils or margin of the holder, which, when attached, will draw from the inner side of the crescent and will give to the outer part of the holder its expansiveness.

What I claim is- 1. A curtain-holder consisting of a crescentshaped piece of fabric provided with means for suspending-the same from a suspending-hook, and applied thereto in such manner that the draft shall be along the inner margin of said crescent shaped piece, substantially as described. I

2; A curtain-holder consisting of a crescentshaped piece of ornamental fabric suspended from loops connected to its inner coils or margin, substantially as described.
